Chapter 17: The Apprentice

After Sarufeiyan said this, it happened that the store manager Ishino had just come out of the back hall.

"Master Yan." Manager Ishino greeted him with a smile on his face.

The status of the talisman maker is not as good as that of a handyman, even if he is the store manager, he is still polite to the talisman master, especially since this talisman master is also surnamed Ape Fei.

Ape Feiyan turned sideways: "Shi Ye, tell you something." Didn't this kid break dozens of seal-type weights and owe some money? I'll help him pay back the money, so let him learn talismans from me in the future. ”

"Huh?" Manager Ishino stopped in his footsteps, blinked and said, "You want to take him as an apprentice?" ”

"That's right." Ape Feiyan nodded with a smile, and reached out to take the painting in the hand of the ignorant fire genma, "Look at it, this talent for drawing is born to be a talisman maker." ”

The manager of Ishino came over and took a look, and saw that a young ninja with two hands in his pockets and a thousand books in his mouth was drawn on the paper.

"This kid drew it?" He looked incredulous.

Sarutobi returned the painting to Genma Shiranui, and said with a smile to the manager of Ishino, "Aren't you surprised." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was drawn by a nine-year-old. ”

He continued, "Drawing is the basic skill of a talisman maker, and people who are naturally good at drawing are generally not too bad at chakra control. I tested his chakra attribute just now, and the main attribute is fire, so it's definitely no problem to make a detonation charm, so I decided to take him as an apprentice. ”

Hearing this, Manager Ishino looked up and down at Shiranui Genma for a while, as if he had reacquainted himself.

Then he raised his head and said with a smile: "Since Master Yan, you have decided to accept him as an apprentice, of course I will not have an opinion. ”

As he spoke, Manager Ishino patted Shiranui Genma on the shoulder again, and said in an unprecedentedly cordial tone, "It's okay, kid!" Looks like it's going to have another excellent talisman maker in the Full-Point Hall soon, haha. ”

Looking at this amiable store manager, I don't know that Huo Genma silently raised a middle finger in his heart.

……

When he returned home, he didn't know that Huo Genma had just walked not far from home when he saw that his clone was training for speed.

What is this doing, is it useful to practice the body with a clone?

He subconsciously wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he would know it when the clone was lifted and the memory returned to the body, so he ignored the clone and went straight to the door.

If it is not necessary, it is a waste of chakra for the body and the doppelganger to communicate.

The clone also tacitly ignored the main body and was doing rapid training on his own......

After a while, in the bathroom, when I was brushing my teeth, a memory flooded into my mind, and it seemed that the clone had been lifted.

Looking back on the first time the doppelganger went to school, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Due to the limitation of the amount of chakra, the doppelganger rarely does physical activity in school, except for listening to lectures and sleeping, and even the physical surgery class takes leave on the grounds of physical discomfort.

After all, if the doppelganger is lifted because the chakra is exhausted, it will not only attract attention, but also lead to absenteeism, which is a lot of trouble.

So at the end of the day, the clone began to consider whether to switch strategies, and finally decided to do an experiment to see how long the clone could maintain its physical activity.

The result was disappointing, the most basic speed training, the doppelganger couldn't even last half a class.

Looking at it this way, until the chakra is taken to the next level, the strategy of getting the doppelganger to go to school will not work.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to go to Mandiantang to work full-time now, so there is no need to separate one to go to school by himself.

Since you can't go to school, what should you let the shadow clone do?

Practicing spiral pills?

It doesn't seem to work, and the unrecoverable chakra practice spiral pill that exists in the clone is estimated to be gone in a while.

I don't know that Huo Genma thought about it for a long time, and found that he couldn't find a suitable thing for the doppelganger to do.

Forget it, tomorrow is his first day as a talisman apprentice, so Chakra should keep it for now, maybe it will be of great use.

……

The next day, after school, I didn't know that Huo Genma didn't even eat, so he went straight to Mandiantang and found Ape Feiyan's room.

The door was not closed, and from the door, you could see that there were several people busy inside.

"Genma is here, come in."

Before Huo Genma knocked on the door, the voice of Ape Feiyan came from inside.

"Yes." I didn't know that the fire answered, and then I went into the house and closed the door with my hand.

It was a very large and long room, with a rather cluttered furnishings and all kinds of rune paper everywhere. There were several cubicles in the room, and in each compartment there was a young talisman maker, who seemed to be the brothers and sisters of the Ignorant Fire Genma.

These young talismans were all focused on their work, and they were not distracted in the slightest by the fact that they did not know the fire genma.

Ape Feiyan, who was still dressed in slippers and was still very casual, led the ignorant fire Genma to the innermost part of the room and sat down.

"Genma, you should be a third-year student at the ninja school, right? Do you know how to use ninjutsu? Ape Feiyan touched his sparse beard and asked.

"Yes, teacher. Ninjutsu knows some, such as transformation techniques, doppelganger techniques, stand-in techniques, and shadow doppelganger techniques. I don't know that Genma said truthfully.

"Shadow clone." Ape Feiyan was surprised, "You can use the shadow clone now?" ”

I don't know that Huo Genma nodded shyly: "I was able to use ...... just yesterday."

However, to his surprise, Ape Feiyan did not show amazement or approval next, but twisted his beard and groaned.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Open your right hand, palm down, try to generate a chakra line with the back of your hand pointing upward, and I'll take a look." ”

I don't know why, but I still did it, opened my right hand, mobilized the chakra, and extended a chakra line vertically upwards from the back of the hand, about ten centimeters or so.

Chakra is very dense and difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye. However, although the eyes can't see, they can feel it, and the ability to perceive chakra is the basic quality of ninjas, especially perceptual ninjas.

Ape Feiyan blinked: "Extend a little." ”

I didn't know that Genma did so, and extended the chakra line by ten centimeters.

"Extend a little more." As he spoke, Ape Feiyan had clearly shown surprise.

Then, Shiranui Genma stretched the chakra line all the way to a height above his head before stopping.

"That's all I can do, teacher."

This operation sounds easy, but it is not simple to do, and it is a big test of chakra control ability. The vertical back of the hand and the chakra line tens of centimeters long are not known as the limit of the fire genre.

If it continues any longer, the Chakra Line will most likely collapse.

Feeling the chakra line on the back of his hand, Ape Feiyan's movement of twisting his beard came to an abrupt halt, and he looked into the eyes of Shiranui Genma, as if he was looking at a freak......
